Ariel Pink is the latest guest on "Alexi in Bed", a Youtube show in which host Alexi Wasser performs interviews while sitting in bed with her subjects. In one segment of their interview, Wasser begins by asking Pink about the time he got maced—an incident he Tweeted about in the summer of 2013. The story he tells is... not flattering, to say the least. You can watch it below, via Stereogum.

Last year, Iggy and the Stooges released a new album Ready to Die. As guitarist James Williamson told Rolling Stone, Iggy wanted to take a year off, but the rest of the Stooges decided to keep going without him. They're working on an album called Re-Licked. It features several Raw Power-era tracks the band only played live (which have circulated widely on bootlegs) sung by a variety of guest vocalists.

French rockers Phoenix will hit the road again in support of last year's Bankrupt! Their new North American dates include both Bonnaroo and Governors Ball, and come in addition to their previously announced dates in Australia, South America, and Europe. Albert Hammond Jr., of the Strokes, will open some of the North American dates. He released a solo EP last year.

Ariel Pink recently joined forces with star indie producer Justin Raisen to form the production team called Raw Deal. Together they made the beat for Jerry James' "Lana Del Rey", an absurd song with an even more absurd video that stretches the Tumblr-informed white rapper spectrum to new places. Bonus: tons of women wearing Lana Del Rey masks and Ariel Pink in a black wig. Go forth.

Ariel Pink is prominently featured in the new music video by L.A. band Kitten. In the clip for "Money", Kitten's Chloe Chaidez hangs out in a hotel bed, pool, and bathroom, getting wet, smoking, and drinking. Meanwhile, Ariel's kind of just hanging out in the bed, smoking and drinking, looking fairly bemused except for the few moments when he leans in for a kiss. Watch it below.
